And what’s more, it’s just fantastic to see great players doing what they do – on stage or off it. It’s also a way to develop a greater understanding of the history of genres and their pioneers, that can suddenly alter everything we thought we knew about the derivation of popular music. But for guitar players, the venerable music documentary can offer more than just entertainment – exploring the stories of how some of the world’s most acclaimed players and artists strived to perfect their art can make us rethink our own approaches.

Ben, having been the bold one, befriends himself with Fallon and both hit it off with each other. The fire broke out at Fallon’s father’s house, whereas Fallon mostly couldn’t forgive him for forgetting her inside the house since the girl was staying overnight. Basically just to make a bold move towards Fallon’s dad who couldn’t be less supportive for a daughter who suffers from insecurities caused by scars she got in a fire five years ago. At a rare and enraging meet-up with her father, stranger Ben comes to Fallon’s aid and introduces himself as her boyfriend. |
